About the Series
Ci3T EMPOWER Sessions are free professional learning opportunities designed for pre-K through 12th-grade educators, administrators, related service providers, paraprofessionals, and families interested in strengthening their ability to support students effectively.
Each session provides stand-alone, research-informed content focused on proactive, systematic approaches for identifying and supporting students who may need additional assistance to experience success in school. Topics address students’ academic, behavioral, and social and emotional well-being within a Comprehensive, Integrated, Three-Tiered (Ci3T) Model of Prevention.
